Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company borrowed language from the new medium of radio for this 1924 worker safety campaign, encouraging employees to "Tune In" as the company was "Broadcasting Safety" through a series of accident-prevention posters. Safe working habits were in everyone's best interest -- from the worker who risked debilitating injury and loss of pay, to the company that faced lost productivity.
